christmas ?

So it's been quite a while since my last post.
I've just been busy these past few days I guess


It's boxing day today! but I'm not planning to go anywhere near those malls. Well I want to but I haven't found anyone who wants to come with me AND I just recovered. 
OH by the way, MERRY CHRISTMAS !! I went to see disney on ice with Oline yesterday. It was really really nice but I think I watched something similar to it back in Indonesia. hmm.. And I wasn't feeling too well since yesterday morning so I literally slept the whole time after getting home from the show. NAUSEA AND HEADACHE urgh (i sound like a pregnant woman eh? I can assure you I'm not though lol). 


It's only almost a week since the winter break started and I'm broke broke BROKE !!
Let me list down some of the things I did the past few days.
21 DEC: Hotpot dinner
22 DEC: Volunteering, hanging out with a few people
23 DEC: XMAS shopping (omo!)
24 DEC: more shopping, hotpot dinner (again)
Spent so much on clothes, christmas gifts, food and other entertainments. And did I mention I'm going to Quebec too to celebrate New Year? goodbye $$$, goodbye to being thrifty. I shall start being cheap next month when school starts (AMEN). 


Guess this is it for now, gonna write a belated christmas and new year card for my family :)

Calc & LinAlg and other stuffs..

Had my 3rd exam today, don't know how i feel about it. I thought it was pretty hard but I did my best so... I'm just hoping for the best :) i hope all that studying during the weekend pays off *sigh* 

At least I had the chance to take a short break from studying today :)
Went for sushi buffet at Aji Sai sushi, $16 for all those stuff we ate, it was worth it ( for me at least). We had tons of sushi rolls, fried stuff and dessert. Omgosh if i have to go for another round of sushi buffet this week, i think i'll never have sushi again for the next 6 months. AND today was so so so cold, my feet were freezing, I couldn't feel them while walking back home +++ all the snowing. It was bad =.= I hope i get used to this quickly. 

So, guess what I'm doing now? *drumroll* 
For those who guessed STUDYING, yep you got that right.
Linear Algebra, my FAVOURITE, MOST BELOVED subject.
Well, i think the course is ok except for chapter 4, which is about matrices in n-dimensions. I have a hard time understanding 3-d  matrices, n dimensions ? consider me dead. It's 1:30am as I type this, 15 minutes since I wrote the starting line of the paragraph. I have moved on from studying (I'm gonna be in the library the whole day 2morrow anyway so... might as well relax for a bit more now). My friend gave me this link to this site for all the tv shows, EVEN PSYCH! I AM SO EXCITED. Now i'm waiting for CSI to buffer :D yay thankyouuu very very mucho!

I guess i should end this post right here.
Good night and good afternoon :D

the dummy that i am

I don't know why but for some unexplainable reason I just want to put that as the title.
It may be related to the post, but most probably not.


Today marks the end of my 2/5 final exams this month, I'm not excited AT ALL since well, i am under SO MUCH PRESSURE for these exams (worth 50% each) and not doing so well in the past 2. ME <-- dead man walking :\


So yea, after the exam today me and 2 of my friends went out for dim sum. MAN it was suppa good. We had Siu mai, har gow (don't know if i spelled those 2 right), rice with minced pork i think, custard bun, pork ribs and a few other dishes :9 
It was snowing a lot too ! I've always been fascinated by snow but when it starts making the sidewalks slippery, uh uh not a fan. So all of us walked home as quickly as we could and our plan for the day is .... (not surprising to all) STUDYING, after slacking off a lil' of course.


For me, slacking means, hmm.. watching the online episodes of GLEE, THE MENTALIST, GOSSIP GIRL, GREY'S ANATOMY. lots of catching up since i wasn't able to watch any of em during the week. Oh and I also checked out the BIG BANG THEORY, it's HILARIOUS !! will put that on my list of TV shows to watch i guess. Then, after all that catching, here I am, posting away some nonsense just for the sake of having something to do. *random thought* it gets dark so early over here, it's only 5 yet it feels like it's so late. then i get lazier, more drowsy and less productive really early. 


... done with the story of the day section. more into the 'private' stuff. it won't be private anymore when i publish this eh ? that's ok, since not that many people read this thing anyway. truth is, I'm worried... about my grades, about myself, about things...
Some people simply expect that i'll do well, it's not like they say it right onto my face 'I want you to get an 80 average' or smthing like that, but it's like when I get a 60/70, they'll ask, 'was it hard?' 'what did your friends think?' and some other questions that make me feel so down inside, or when I say 'i think i did badly', they'll say 'nah, that's impossible' or 'u'll do great as always'. THEN when i get crappy grades... meh T___T
I am stressing over my grades for physical chemistry now since I did so poorly on my midterm, barely a 60 T_T it's really ironic cause I chose chemical engineering because I like CHEM, and now i'm flunking it. GAH i need to stop being a perfectionist. 


then.. ME
People who know me know that I'm not so much of a people person,
I can't come up to some guy/girl and strike up a conversation or just talk freely with someone I just met unless i feel comfortable with them. I think that's why most people think i'm quiet and I'm doing my very best to change that.it's just that it's so,freakishly hard sometimes. 


finally... FRIENDS
I don't know, it seems like i haven't found my solid group of close friends here. i hang out with people here and there but no close-knit groups. they're all REALLY2 nice people, but I guess i'll give it some more time? My friends back home seem to have moved on, so maybe I should start doing that too :)


The most honest post so far and I'm quite happy I got these thoughts out of my head.
I AM A DUMMYYYY

random here and random there

Yo yo yo what's up everybody ? 


I know I promised to post something every few days or so but i've been so so so so so so (x100) busy lately. Had 2 quizzes and a presentation last week, a crazily tough report and online assignment due tomorrow AND 2 final exams ( 1 on wednesday and 1 on friday). I AM GOING SERIOUSLY GOING MAD ! 





So u must be wondering why in the world i am 'wasting' my time writing this. Well the answer is, I need a break.. from everything. I just want a day where I can go out and have fun ( and EAT EAT EAT) <3 
Oh that reminds me, winter break is coming soon. 3 more weeks people !!
Sleeping in, no classes, no assignments, CHRISTMAS &  NEW YEAR. I am looking forward to all that *literally grinning away right now*. and don't forget, boxing day = shopping. 
It's such a pity tho that 3 of my close friends on campus will be going to vancouver during the break :( (secretly hoping I could go to).


Moving on...
Did I mention my family's going to Hong Kong on the 11th? (man, lucky people)
I feel like asking my parents for some extra pocket money to spend this month, it's christmas after all =) oh and another thing, they're gonna have this big family dinner *envy*. I'll most probably be the only one who's not coming home for that since my cousins in the states are going back. Am I a bad person for not wanting to go home? I still think that hopping on minimum of 16 hour flight (one way) to spend less than 2 weeks at home is just not worth it + all the jet lag.. no way


Jumping on to another random topic.. So yesterday, a friend and I went out for dinner. Out of curiosity, I asked her if she had ever have a boyfriend. Then she said yes but they broke up cos she had to move here. We continued talking about the most awkward things like 'what is the maximum age difference for me and the guy?', 'what kinds of guys do we like', 'are there any guys i'm interested in in class' and many many more .... stuff. It was a pretty interesting conversation and it certainly was a good break <3 LOL


YEP so i guess i have to go back to my report now ( i know i'm such a nerd ).
